Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 31/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Tribute-summon and Ritual/Fusion/Synchro/Link pressure from the Clown Crew engine, closing with 2500-3000 ATK monsters (Clown Crew Biancaviso, Black Chaos, Black Luster Soldier, Alba-Lenatus); Light and Darkness Ritual line into Magician of Dark Chaos - Black Chaos and Black Luster Soldier
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Clown Crew Rehearsal or Ragged Records of Rites to find the Clown Crew engine, then Clown Crew Flair or Mulcharmy draw effects to build a Tribute Summon board (Inferred from card text, no recorded boards)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Droll & Lock Bird and Nibiru as hand traps to break the opponent's opening, then convert with Clown Crew Biancaviso or a Ritual boss (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recover through Mulcharmy draw effects, Clown Crew Finale or Ragged Records of Rites from the GY, and Clown Crew Matinee Operatics in the End Phase (Inferred from text)
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adapt between games

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal: three copies each of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, The Fallen & The Virtuous and Super Polymerization exceed the TCG Semi-Limited limit of 2, so it receives a capped score rather than a normal Final Contextual score. Structurally it is a Midrange shell with a real engine: 19 Clown Crew-family core copies give about an 89% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, and 10 hand traps plus 17 searcher-text cards support continuity (Inferred). The ceiling (Biancaviso, Black Chaos, Black Luster Soldier, Alba-Lenatus at 2500-3000 ATK) is real on paper, but no recorded boards exist, so median and ceiling output are text-only inference. Popularity did not earn points: there is no tournament link, no usage-match data, and no side deck, which caps Side and Meta-facing dimensions. The score was derived from the deck as a system (consistency, interaction, going-second hand traps, and closing power) and was not an average of card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53.5, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: copy-limit violations (-20); no side deck (0). Final formula: Illegal capped: Final = 0.80*Structural(53.5) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(42) - 20 (copy-limit violation penalty) = 31; Meta provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.89 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ — (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Strong engine access: archetype-core group reaches about 89% in hand 5 (Inferred)
• Ten hand traps give going-second interaction (Inferred)
• High-ATK closing monsters (2500-3000) (Verified stats)

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts on three Semi-Limited cards (Verified)
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability (Verified)
• Mulcharmy draw effects need an empty board, which is a brick and timing risk (Inferred)
• No recorded combos or win data, so ceiling and median are unmeasured (Verified gap)

Critical choke points

• Clown Crew Rehearsal, Ragged Records or Flair as the first searcher
• Ritual Monster and Tribute requirements for Black Chaos and Black Luster Soldier

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality violations: three cards over the Semi-Limited copy limit; Main 55 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Side count 0 is legal; Archetype-core group count 19
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency estimates (0.89 core, 0.26 per 3-copy starter); Going-second hand-trap value (0.719); Engine and ceiling reads from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (D13) without a dated metagame sample
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent no win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second or matchups Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck registered, so post-side behaviour is unknown
